    Cap is clearly missing
    Aj T.

    First off, I normally deal with Garth as my service technician but he was out due to illness. So back in December he told me that a tune up on my car would be around $450 for the 1k mile milestone. Mind you i had called the dealership and tried to get a quote from the service department also I wanted to know how long it would take as I have a busy schedule with my daughter and work. I never got a call back. So I make the appointment for this past Friday my daughters 9th birthday mind you and I arrived on time for my 730 appointment. I was told it would be done that day and he would put a technician on. My car right away. I figured I would have the car back by 2 or 3pm at the latest I got a call after four when I was already heading to Knotts berry farm.so I told them I would pick up my car Saturday Thank God I have 2 vehicles. When I first got to the dealership I meet David who was very friendly and complimented the way my car was running and jokingly asked if I wanted to sell it. Mind you my car was running at peak condition before I arrived. I was then told after checking in that my battery was not properly charging some of the electrical parts and they would check my battery during the tune up. He told me my fluids were good ,I informed him that I had the transmission serviced and my coolant replaced two weeks ago. Later that morning I get a video of the technician telling me about the inspection of my car. He said he recommended that I change the air filter Mind you I replaced the air filter when I did the other services transmission/coolant exchange. Then he told me about a coolant leak from a hose and recommended i fill the coolant and clean the throttle body. I'll try to upload the video to show exactly what was said. I was given a estimate of over seven hundred dollars I was not told they raised the price since I last spoke with Garth in late December when I gifted him a Christmas gift. I had a coupon from Carson Chevrolet for 30% off any services and Dave said he gave me a discount and I paid $645.87 still a far cry of $450. I even googled what a tune up on my car would cost and it was not over $450. I didn't know that they changed the price until it was time to pay.when I confronted the service technician who was checking me out because David was on the showroom floor. I told him about the recommendations that I know my car didn't need he said that's normal protocol when doing a vehicle inspection. I understand that but to recommend things that i don't need is not cool and makes me think this dealership is all about the money and not really about retaining customers. I've been bringing my car there for over years and Garth made me feel like family. I paid my bill and left unbeknownst to me i would have a issue that I never expected to happen, while coming home from Los Angeles with my wife her mother and my daughter the car starts to over heat on the 405 freeway 7 minutes from home. I pulled over and had to let the car cool off. I was able to get off the freeway safely and nurse it to a gas station on cherry avenue. I popped the hood and discovered my radiator cap was not on the reservoir. I know it was on there before I dropped it off so I looked at the video and saw that the cap was removed during the vehicle inspection but was not replaced after he checked my fluids. On top of that a foam pad was also left under the hood,this could have caught fire. This was very dangerous for me to be out at 430am with my family trying to get home and a technicians carelessness results in me having to pullover multiple times to nurse my car home.. and I pray that no engine damage was done by the over heating. I'll be going to auto zone to buy a replacement cap because my car is not safe to drive without the cap.the anger I feel is almost as bad as the stress of my family being on the 405 in the dark. I miss Garth and know that this would not have happened if he had been working. I do hope he has a speedy recovery and returns to work he truly made it a pleasure to go to Harbor Chevrolet. I also had my battery checked by AAA and it's working properly so was i getting a recommendation by David to buy a battery? His own technician checked it off as being ok I'm curious as to the device he used to check my car in is working properly I can only hope that's the case and I was not getting hustled to replace my battery. I hope things go better if I decide to keep going to this dealership or I might have to make a change.

    I visited Harbor Chevy today because they had the exact car (color/trim) I wanted to buy my wife. I linked up with Aric (yes with an "A") and he was right on track with getting me in and out in about 2 hours. Andrew handled the finance end of it and all in all my experience was the best I've had at a dealership. Everyone has choices but if you're on the hunt for a Chevy, I'd recommend giving Aric a shot. Thank you guys for taking care of me!

    Before I make the appointment to bring my car in, I asked the receptionist at the service department. How long does it take for my car to get diagnose? She replied, and said it takes a day or two. I told her my situation what happened at the Buena Park Chevrolet. They left my car there for over a week without being diagnosed. So she told me that will not happen here. I said OK I will make an appointment with you guys. I drop off the car on Saturday. I told the rep. name, Victor Jimenez. What happened at the dealership in Buena Park? I don't want the same thing repeated again. He have told me that will not happen here. He told me it will take two or three days to get my car diagnosed, I said OK. I told Victor my concern on the car is that whistling noise that I've been hearing. He said don't worry we will take care of that and video tape that diagnose and send it to my phone and my car will be washed before we return your car. My car was diagnose the fourth day. But it was the wrong diagnosis...it was not the problem that I was concerned with. It was something else that they wanted to sell me extra. I ask Victor did you and the mechanic drive my car first and listen to the whistling noise? He said he can't hear a thing same thing with the mechanic. So I have to show up at the service department to ride with a mechanic and point it out. The following week Tuesday come around I didn't hear from Victor. I text Victor and find out the status of my car. He replied back say there has been a delay of my car part. That mean, he forgot to order the part. Thursday, that's when they start working on my car and Friday morning. He text me telling me. I should pick up my car Friday evening. It should be done. This is two weeks me waiting for the car without the dealer loaning me a car. I have to get a ride from my family every single day for two weeks. When that Friday comes around, I was there to pick up my car. Victor told me he will loan me a car for the third week because they mess up fixing my car. He said GM will pay for the damage. It was a leak on my car. When I came and pick up my car, Victor told me someone else well help you instead of him he won't be present. So Mr. Rodriguez, check me out. The car was returned to me dirty in inside out. The inside of my car looks like someone ram sack my car. All the paperwork in the glove compartment was pulled out dust all over my dashboard. Mr. Rodriguez told me I should be charged for that rental car which they didn't do that. Something that the HARBOR CHEVROLET mechanic messed up and wanted to charge the customer for their bad service. It shows that this dealership have no respect for their customer returning the car dirty. And they have poor customer service. They should inform the customer if you drop off the car it will take at least 3 to 4 days for your car to be work on. The rep Doesn't know how to communicate with a customer better. Also, for a big company like GM charging the customer for using the credit card is bad service. This is a big company and they charge customer surcharge for every customer who use the credit card. I kinda want to tell everybody GM are like this.

    We went to buy a truck recently and our experience was nothing but excellent and amazing especially while it was raining.. we were taken care of by Cornelius and he gave us the best customer service ever!! Not only was he helping us navigate the truck in the rain but he was clear and consise with the financing and available deals.. he made it very easy to buy our son his first truck and we can't thank him enough for his time and expertise. My son had a good monthly payment and I appreciate all the time given to my family to make this purchase. Everyone needs to come here for their next car or truck!

    Daughter's first car bought at Harbor Chevrolet.

    Came here recently to purchase my daughter's first car. The service we got was excellent. The price was fair, and great negotiation. Total time for purchasing the car was a bit long, but I expected it. I really liked the fact that they took the time to show me a ton of cars and explained everything we needed to know. As well as we got some extra thrown in. Extra warranty what?! The finance guy was great. Although, I know I got to him a bit as ya know, (dad questions) and me reading through everything. lol If you need a simple car look to these guys and see what they have for you.

    I wanted to give Harbor Chevrolet in Long Beach another chance. I had been there back in August for service (where they actually put a huge dent in my vehicle and never made it right), but the people I met then were friendly enough that I thought maybe sales would be different. I was wrong. Completely wrong. Today was a totally different story. New people, new clientele, and an entirely unfavorable, dishonest experience. Jaycob (who introduced himself as the sales manager) and Manny used every shady, high-pressure tactic in the book. They told me another buyer was literally there ready to take the vehicle and that I had to decide right then or lose it forever. Classic fake urgency. When I finally asked for straightforward numbers, Jaycob became condescending, dismissive, and outright rude. They refused to negotiate at all -- even though my wife and I have credit scores from 738 to 800 and almost $15,000 ready for a down payment. Instead of working with qualified buyers, they just want to scalp you with outrageous pricing and crush you into whatever they feel like charging. Worst part: after I walked away, they claimed they had already "run my credit." That is a flat-out lie. They never had my permission, never asked for my full Social Security number, and I never signed anything authorizing a hard inquiry. Straight-up dishonesty from Jaycob and the team. The managers I spoke to afterward had no idea what actually happened -- they weren't even sure who I had dealt with. Zero accountability. It's clear the culture there has completely changed for the worse. Friendly staff from a few months ago? Gone. Replaced with pushy, condescending liars who will say anything to pressure you and then make up stories afterward. Whatever goodwill this dealership had is gone. Between the service department damaging my last vehicle, and now Jaycob and his team lying to my face, using fake scarcity tactics, refusing to negotiate with strong-credit buyers, and falsely claiming they pulled credit -- this place is toxic. Stay far away. Shop literally anywhere else. I regret ever walking back in.

    My New Chevrolet Silverado under the night sky

    I recently had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience at this location, and I feel it's important for others to be aware of the pattern of behavior I encountered. From the start, several members of the sales and management team--particularly the older gentleman who appeared to be leading the others--demonstrated dishonesty and a complete lack of professionalism. I was given three different stories after negotiating a deal over the phone with another manager. Despite clearly explaining the agreement I had already made, the older salesman insisted the deal "wasn't possible" and quoted a monthly payment comparable to the cost of a small apartment. After pushing back and once again referencing the prior conversation with management, he eventually returned, shook my hand, apologized for the miscommunication, and told me the car was being washed and prepared for pickup. Then he simply disappeared. I waited two hours with no update, only to be told--without explanation--that the deal was suddenly off the table. This level of inconsistency and lack of communication is unacceptable for any professional business, especially one handling large financial transactions. I had decided to walk away from this dealership altogether, but two days later I received a call from the same manager asking what happened and assuring me that I would receive the original deal if I returned. The only reason I gave the dealership another chance was because the female manager--the only one who demonstrated honesty, respect, and genuine effort throughout this ordeal--took ownership of the situation. Thanks to her, I finally received the deal I had been promised from the beginning. Based on my experience, I strongly caution others: the male sales and management staff at this location repeatedly gave misleading information, failed to communicate, and appeared more interested in an easy sale than in treating customers with integrity. My trust was violated multiple times, and the entire experience was far more stressful and upsetting than it should ever be when purchasing a vehicle. While I am ultimately satisfied with the vehicle I purchased, that satisfaction is due entirely to the one manager who acted with professionalism. I cannot say the same for the rest of the team.

    What i told them

    1 Star for Service / 5 Stars for Sales (Jaycob Gomez) With all the DCT problems with the C8 see picture below and my breakdown I purchased my C8 Corvette on March 8th and had an amazing buying experience thanks to Jaycob Gomez -- he deserves 5 stars. Super professional, helpful, and made everything smooth. But the service department? Complete disappointment. I had an appointment scheduled for Monday, and I wouldn't have bothered going if there wasn't a real problem. Instead of actually listening and helping, they talked to me like I was clueless -- super dismissive. The technician's explanation and the service advisor Viktor was the worst part. I highly doubt the test was conducted on Heavy traffic stop and go It felt like they were just making excuses and not taking my concern seriously at all. I left feeling frustrated, disrespected, and completely let down. Buying experience: excellent. Service experience: awful. Definitely not what you expect after spending this much money on a car. there are a few concerning issues with the tech's response 1. The tech is suggesting driving technique is causing the issue by claiming you're "dragging the brake" in traffic. This is a common deflection tactic when they can't diagnose a problem. 2. The statement "vehicle not equipped with automatic transmission has dual clutch transmission" is misleading. The DCT is technically an automatic transmission (you don't manually shift with a clutch pedal), just a specific type. 3. The "could not duplicate concern" after only 18 miles of testing is inadequate, especially since DCT issues often appear intermittently or in specific conditions (like the stop-and-go traffic you mentioned) again HEAVY TRAFFIC not hauling ass at the back roads and light traffic 4. im casuing excessive heat to the dual clutch. What this means: The dealership is essentially blaming my driving technique rather than acknowledging a potential mechanical issue. how should you drive in a HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATION STOP AND GO ? should i just step on the brakes wait like 5 car length to go ? You guys ever driven or live in LA ? sounds really dumb The "must fully release brake pedal from a stop" advice is reasonable for DCT operation, but significant shuddering is NOT normal behavior for a properly functioning C8 transmission, regardless of driving technique

    Because this is the person you don't want to deal with

Instead, they hit me with a huge bill and gave me the laziest "diagnosis" I've ever seen. They didn't check anything properly, didn't give me photos, didn't give me compression numbers, didn't do a real bore scope, nothing. They just jumped straight to "replace everything" like that was the only option instead of actually finding the root of the problem. I was even told I was missing a valve??? When I had it inspected by a much more capable shop, I clearly saw all my valves in my motor. They also wanted to replace both cams, yet when only ONE was replaced by their neighbor, my car runs perfectly fine. They really tried to upsell me into a full rebuild without proving anything was wrong. Then I took the same car to Euro Car Clinic, and the difference was insane. Euro Clinic actually tore the engine down, checked timing, checked compression, did a real bore scope, found the stretched chain, found the fuel pump leaking into the oil, replaced the right parts, and showed me every step with photos and updates. And the crazy part? I paid HALF of what this shop tried to charge me, and Euro Clinic actually fixed the car. Not to mention the difference in the invoices I'm honestly embarrassed to even show the comparison. This shop's invoice had zero photos, tons of misspelling, and looked completely unprofessional. Even when I called for weeks asking for photos, all I ever got was "oh it's on my phone, I'll send it right now," and I never received anything. This place wasted my time, my money, and my trust. After seeing what real professionalism looks like, I would never recommend them to anyone.
